POST SCRIPT TO TERROR

              In my last post I described how the United States Intelligence community is ignoring the Islamic terrorist threat within the United States and instead is using its new found anti terror surveillance  powers to monitor political opponents.  As proof, I discuss how there have been a string of Radical Islamic Terrorist Attacks in the US by Jihadists who made no real effort to hide their intent to commit terrorist attacks yet who were not monitored by the US intelligence community before their acts and whose terrorist intentions were downplayed by Federal authorities after the fact.  I argue that the evidence clearly shows these to be acts of Islamic terror and that The Justice Department is falsely claiming there is no evidence of terrorism.  I conclude by claiming.  the US government is ignoring real terror within the US while using the tools provided to combat Islamic terrorism to illegally monitor political opponents within the US. 

            Well, my loyal listeners, the government just proved my point.   Eric Frein, the alleged cop killer in Pennsylvania , was just charged with terrorism related crimes.   Frein appears not to be associated, loosely or otherwise, with any overarching group or ideology.  He was, however, politically motivated; apparently writing in his personal papers that his actions were intended to spark a revolution to change the government.  This alone was enough for Frein to be charged with terrorism related charges in addition to first degree murder.


            As I argued in my prior post, all of the recent Islamic extremist perpetrators left copious open and public evidence of intent to commit acts of violence against the United States in an effort to overthrow the government and to establish an Islamic state or sharia law or the like within the United States.    This evidence I argue, was perfectly adequate to bring terrorism charges against all of these perpetrators yet the government has steadfastly argued there is no evidence in any of these cases of terrorism.  The charging of Frein proves that a criminal act such as murder coupled with evidence of a political intent is grounds for terrorism related charges.  Why then we must ask is the Justice Department vigorously denying any basis to bring terrorism charges against the numerous Islamic Jihadists who have carried out attacks with in the US with admitted intent to overthrow the US government and other political motivations?  These Jihadists are carrying out their acts as part of a world wide anti American movement, yet they are not considered terrorists, while Frein, a true lone wolf actor, is charged with terror related crimes.

     Clearly, and sadly,  this government has no intention of rooting out Jihadist terrors in the US; thus we have to ask the question how the anti terrorist tools we gave them to protect us are in reality being used?
